Iain Heath, aka <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/ochre_jelly/" id="yui_3_7_3_3_1365574403272_1451">Ochre Jelly</a>, built this awesome LEGO sculpture of a monstrous octopus savaging a <em>Star Wars</em> <a href="http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Star_Destroyer">Star Destroyer</a>. </p> <p>The inspiration for this amazing scene, crafted with tiny plastic bricks, was Iain’s frustration with people critizing the LEGO Super Star Destroyer as being “a big dull gray set.”</p> <p>He said, “<em>I decided to change that…”</em></p> <blockquote> <p>“After the death of the Emperor Palpatine and Lord Vader, the Empire made a last ditch attempt to thwart their enemies by rushing to complete their <em>fleet</em> of Venator class super star destroyers. However, by the time these vessels could be deployed, the Rebel Alliance had already developed its own super weapon, designation <strong>KR-KN</strong>.</p> <p><strong>The Legend of the KR-KN</strong>: A rare species of Space Kraken, known to exist only in the vast Dreighton Nebula, were sought out using the the Jedi’s most powerful clairvoyants, and brought under the Alliance’s control by flying super-computers directly into their brains. Many brave Ewok pilots were unwillingly sacrificed to accomplish this difficult task. Far from being cruel to the Kraken, this arrangement was completely symbiotic, as the creatures had evolved to prey on starships, their diet being composed entirely of metals such as quadanium steel.”</p> </blockquote> <p><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/ochre_jelly/sets/72157633196452151/">Space Kraken</a> = Awesome</p> <p>[via <a href="http://www.obviouswinner.com/obvwin/2013/4/9/the-lego-kr-kn-space-octopus-star-wars-destroyer-destroyer.html">Obvious Winner</a>]</p> </blockquote> <p>Iain, as always, your Lego work rocks!!</p>http://drogal.tumblr.com/post/47824681170http://drogal.tumblr.com/post/47824681170Fri, 12 Apr 2013 21:13:08 -0400<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/17cdff38dc5118a9676c7b2a6fe8cd26/tumblr_ml5jrxNNqa1r5vrkfo1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p><big>Friday Favorites: Plays with Needles</big></p><blockquote><p>When you realize that you’ve saved a website under multiple headings in your “favorites” file you…</p></blockquote><p><a href="http://dawnrogal.com/2013/04/12/friday-favorites-plays-with-needles/">View Post</a></p>http://drogal.tumblr.com/post/47790411291http://drogal.tumblr.com/post/47790411291Fri, 12 Apr 2013 13:11:56 -0400<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/9854efbe8985232bdb031bf117b359d9/tumblr_ml3o7cWwLv1r5vrkfo1_250.jpg"/><br/><br/><p><big>The Mad Pratter and a Hat</big></p><blockquote><p>This year the theme of Pratt Fine Arts annual auction is “The Mad Pratter”.  I’ve already submitted…</p></blockquote><p><a href="http://dawnrogal.com/2013/04/11/the-mad-pratter-and-a-hat/">View Post</a></p>http://drogal.tumblr.com/post/47708981196http://drogal.tumblr.com/post/47708981196Thu, 11 Apr 2013 12:52:24 -0400<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/5a2d1f4593777613da2aaf87185c1a74/tumblr_ml1vfqMdqJ1r5vrkfo1_250.jpg"/><br/><br/><p><big>Traveling with Art Supplies</big></p><blockquote><p>On Sunday it took me four hours to decided which art supplies to bring with me on our little…</p></blockquote><p><a href="http://dawnrogal.com/2013/04/10/traveling-with-art-supplies/">View Post</a></p>http://drogal.tumblr.com/post/47630418324http://drogal.tumblr.com/post/47630418324Wed, 10 Apr 2013 13:33:26 -0400<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/c71bd0fbb1270d0c10af0e16598fab58/tumblr_mkzzsy188G1r5vrkfo1_250.jpg"/><br/><br/><p><big>Three Little Birds</big></p><blockquote><p>I decided to use the linen that I dyed with forsythia to make little birds – three of them.  I’ve…</p></blockquote><p><a href="http://dawnrogal.com/2013/04/09/three-little-birds/">View Post</a></p>http://drogal.tumblr.com/post/47548289975http://drogal.tumblr.com/post/47548289975Tue, 09 Apr 2013 13:12:34 -0400<img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/738d0a9b627d09d32ea2e5e945f33dd4/tumblr_mkysbvJdpL1qzhokmo1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p><a class="tumblr_blog" href="http://teachingliteracy.tumblr.com/post/47503915113/by-fleegles-pictures">teachingliteracy</a>:</p> <blockquote> <p> (by <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/14260221@N02/8631304889/">fleegle’s pictures</a>)</p> </blockquote> <p><br/>best bookmarks ever</p>http://drogal.tumblr.com/post/47512686496http://drogal.tumblr.com/post/47512686496Mon, 08 Apr 2013 23:15:15 -0400<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/2dbe457e22bc8daf00787bbf8f1e18c3/tumblr_mky4k09NSw1r5vrkfo1_250.jpg"/><br/><br/><p><big>A camel</big></p><blockquote><p>Believe it or not I am getting ready for shows.
